After around 3 hours on the ferry we arrived at Penang and got a taxi to our hotel. We stayed at the 1926 Heritage hotel and like many buildings in Penang, the hotel is a protected structure. It was fine for what we needed - had a good swimming pool, and a good air-conditioned foyer where we could work whilst Dad played piano ! New Year celebrations continued throughout our stay and on one evening we visited a very large temple that had over 200,000 lights and bought a ribbon for the wishing tree ! Penang is famous for its food and we tried lots of different types of food including chicken feet ! We really enjoyed Penang.
